Need new lighting

[Cookie_Monster]

Ok, I need new lighting for my 20 high tank. Currently I have 2 coralife 10k's and 2 superactinics going in an old custom hood. The lighting so far has been ok, but I really want to get some more umpff going into my tank. Heres what Im thinking about getting. And I dont have alot to spend so this is probably the max I want to put into it.

As far a critters go: 3 Black/White Percs, 1 Peppermint Shrimp, couple green striped shrooms, some lettuce coral, some green ricordea, some polyps, 1 queen conch, 1 margarita snail, several other types of snails, 3 crabs, 1 red worm that keeps going after my shrooms, a hitchhiking slug of some type, and another hitchiking cowrie.

well it looks good to me but I think someone with more experience than me should take a look. maybe if you cut and pasted the specs in this thread to make it easier...also, am I crazy, I did not see a brand name or who makes the light in the specs...

that SOUNDS like a coralife fixture. that's what I just bought, although I have heard people say they wouldnt get coralife, they never said why. I like the way mine lights the tank, and although its new, I dont see any problems with it. just be sure you get the little legs that usually dont come with it so you can mount the fixture on your tank. I didnt get the moonlight fixture, I just got the daylight/actinic one.
